Abstract
The endogenous production function presented in this paper allows for two solutions to the problem of finding balanced growth in a dynamic model of the economy. The endogenous production function is constructed on the basis of a microeconomic description of the dynamics of production capacities by technology. At the micro-level, it is assumed that the number of jobs is set at the time of creation of a production unit, and production capacity of this unit falls at a constant rate. In addition, an age limit of production capacity is set. Then it is possible to construct a production function and obtain its analytical expression under balanced growth path. This expression for the production function contains, among the parameters, the share of new capacities, the rate of decline of each capacity at the micro-level, the growth rate of scientific and technological progress, and the age limit of capacities. The rate of economic growth depends on these same parameters, which makes Solow problem of the golden growth rate for the endogenous production function more interesting.
